The Center is looking for volunteers to help capture and document bumblebees in order to understand where they are found in the state and estimate how many there are.

Like honeybees, bumblebees are in decline with 40% of the species in our region showing a serious decline. Bumblebees are responsible for $3 billion dollars worth of agricultural pollination per year, so without bumblebees crops like blueberries, tomatoes, peppers and squash would be in trouble.
